    "The Journey of Crazy Horse" by Joseph M Marshall III The book report was a summary and response/reaction paper to the Lakota History of Crazy Horse.

    He was born in 1840 and for the first few years of his life was cared for by his mother, sister and all of the women of the community. The women taught him life lessons throughout this time while at the same time allowing him to teach himself lessons too. He always had someone close to him to guide him in some way, shape, or form. The boy, who was named Crazy Horse, was given the nickname of the Light Haired One because unlike all other boys in the Lakota tribe his hair and skin were constantly getting lighter while he grew. Growing up, Light Hair was taught gentleness by the women and taught himself the virtues of patience. Many lessons he learned were because he encountered them the hard way and not because he was told or showed by his loved ones.…

    Cormac Mccarthy All The Pretty Horses

    Cormac McCarthy gives his story All the Pretty Horses an unique organization. The book only has four chapters within, yet each chapter is lengthy. There are also very few flashbacks in this story. This flashback was needed, however, to show how things did not change after John Grady Cole’s grandfather died. “On the wall opposite above the sideboard was an oilpainting of horses. . . . his grandfather looked up from his plate at the painting,” shows the painting being there while his grandfather was alive and is stirs up John Grady’s memory of it. There was also one dream sequence in the novel. “That night he dreamt of horses in a field on a high plain . . . they ran in that resonance which is the world itself and which cannot be spoken but only praised,” implies how the horses are wild and…

    This is aboout analysis on All the pretty Horses, the significance of the title itself

    The title of Cormac McCarthy's novel - All the Pretty Horses, reflects the significance and variance of roles that horses play in this coming-of-age story, as they relate to John Grady Cole who is the focus of the novel. The horse, which was the social foundation of Western American culture then, is described as an economical and practical asset to the boys - John Grady and Lacey Rawlins. However, the author also describes horses' abstract qualities using idyllic and impassioned diction, depicting them as animals of a highly advanced spiritual nature, similar to humans in some ways. John Grady has an intimate relationship with all horses and understands the world of horses extraordinarily well. On his journey from Texas to Mexico, he learns that the world of men is very different from that of horses and is forced to rethink about the relationship between humans and horses. John discovers that his preconceived notions about men and human society are false. He finds that they do not live in a romantic world, as he had believed. Therefore, the title that McCarthy has chosen is ironic and symbolizes the change that John experiences. The author uses the title to represent John's initial perspective on the world, which turns out to be the opposite later on.…

    all the pretty horses essay

    Cormac McCarthy uses a lot of colors and temperatures to give us the feel of the emotions of the scenes. These last two paragraphs give us that same feeling to end the book. These scenes are written similarly to the paragraphs on the first page of the novel. The first page had a lot of imagery with colors, sounds, and temperature. In the last paragraphs of the novel McCarthy uses the color “red” and “bloodred”, which is also found in the first paragraphs of the book. In All the Pretty Horses, blood is a spiritually transformative substance, connecting man with the landscape, with his history, with the horse, and with his destiny. He uses the color red when describing scenery and the landscape around him. Blood symbolizes the cost John Grady Cole pays for everything he loves. It also represents the world and helps to define the beauty it has, despite the contrast betweeen violence and beauty. We think red also symbolizes independence. Independence is freedom, which is what JGC is searching for. We see JGC as an independent person. He supports himself and sometimes Rawlins with him during the novel and does it on his own. He is loyal to his horse and Rawlins, which we think the red could signify as well.…

    All the Pretty Horses - a Comparative Study

    Horses and cowboys have, in many ways, changed the history of the West. “Horses are inextricably linked to the mythic cowboy within the national symbolic. More so even than the cow or the gun, the horse defines the cowboy’s status as sacred, special, and uniquely American” (Spurgeon, 89). Without what the Plain Indians called “sky dogs”, the west would not have been conquered. In fact, horses have played a major role in the evolution of civilization. From Alexander the Great conquering Macedonian horsemen, to Genghis Khan, to Napoleon, horses have always played an integral part of history. Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses is a coming of age story of John Grady Cole who dreams of the mythical west that we have all come to know and love. He himself is a modern recreation of the mythical horsemen that have circled the imagination of all young boys for centuries. John Grady was born a horseman and has the soul of a horseman. He has been “born to sit and ride a horse” (Lincoln, 102). Through the studying of the significance of the horse and its spirit, John Grady Cole, the main character in McCarthy’s novel, can be better understood and appreciated.…

    Crazy Horse and Red Cloud

    Since nearly the beginning, Crazy Horse had been the unselfish one, the one to do the things for his people, not one to brag and boast of his accomplishments. Since Crazy Horse’s vision, he gave everything he could to protect his people and their way of life even if it meant giving his own. As the title of the book states, Crazy Horse was the strange man of the Oglala, he didn’t take part in the normal traditions men of his tribe did. He didn’t count coup to impress other tribe members, he didn’t celebrate after victorious battles where his actions took a great part in, and he didn’t kill for himself like other young warriors, he killed for his people1.…
